An unspoilt island ecosystem

Just over an hour by boat from Majorca, in the Balearic Islands, you will find this place with great natural beauty.

The marine ecosystem stands out in this cluster of calcareous islands and islets, with meadows of Posidonia oceanica, which favour the proliferation of a large number of species of marine fauna. It is one of the best conserved sea beds on our coast. There are also many endemic plants and important bird colonies. For these reasons it was declared a Land and Sea-based National Park in 1991.

It is the emerged extension of Majorca's Sierra de Levante mountain range, and it has mountainous landscape and an irregular outline. The fauna includes large colonies of sea birds such as Cory's shearwater, European storm-petrel, and Audouin's gull. In the sea there are many other species such as bottlenose dolphins, loggerhead sea turtles, octopuses and moray eels.
